always

i thought i imagined dead doves suddenly being posted mostly anon, but now i guess this new wave of fanfic authors thinks their boss is going to magically find they are "babygirlgoku" on ao3 or sth

also, dead doves are art, dont like dont read, etc 🧏

"you don't post your dead dove fics on anon?" no, all of my dead dove, dirty, disgusting gay smut are posted on my main. I have no shame. normalize a girl being a pervert and a sex-crazed freak

Here are the scene dividers I've made for my fics :D (free to use wth attribution to me)

i could leave a fic uncompleted? u mean it?

so here's the thing. abandoning fics is good actually.

if you're a writer and you hate writing a thing? you can just stop. slap THE END? on the last chapter if you want to pretend like it's really finished, but mostly just free yourself from the prison of your own guilt. you're spending your valuable free time and mental space beating yourself up about a thing that was your choice to start writing in the first place. you decided to start making the thing, and you can also decide to give it up.

this also applies if you're a reader! starting a fic doesn't mean that you have to finish it. maybe the tags looked good. maybe the summary was intriguing. maybe you even liked the first couple of chapters. But if the story starts going in a direction that you don't like, if the author writes your favourite character in a way that doesn't vibe with you, if you just get bored with the premise and want something new, you're allowed to stop reading. Just because you sit down at the table with a whole entire cake doesn't mean you have to eat the whole thing. Sometimes you just want a little sliver, and that's just fine.

loving a story for a couple of chapters is still a lovely way to spend your time. get your enjoyment out of however much time you want to spend with it, and when that time stops being enjoyable allow yourself to move on.

falling out of love with something doesn't mean the love was never there. the love was there in the beginning, and it mattered, and it stays a part of you - even when it's not still there anymore.

i think that all the ppl this happens to, me included (especially the days after an update) simply were not loved enough as children

like, if dad had been like "yo, whats that, show it to me. Omg, I love ur drawing! 💖🌈🌱🫶" instead of in some hotel cheating on mom, this wouldnt be an issue now. and mom... lets not talk abt mom lol
